A PREPOSTEROUS CLAIM BY MRS. MITTEN$

John Amato at Crooks & Liars has the video and the text:
The wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday said that her husband and sons had not joined the U.S. military but had found "different ways of serving" by going on religious missions as part of their obligation to the Mormon church.
During part of the Vietnam War, Mitten$ was on a mission in Paris. When he got back, some US soldiers were in Khe Sanh:

Speaking of chickenhawk progeny, if Obama had done his job, Liz Cheney might be visiting her draft evading chickenhawk criminal of a father in prison instead of commenting "authoritatively" on foreign policy against Obama.
